Other Worlds
In the vicinity
Of Vega and of Fomalhaut
There are said to be
Other planetary systems.
If so, should we still doubt
That evolution’s history,
(Guided by Nature’s wisdom
And human ingenuity),
Will offer our posterity
New places of security –
Fresh paradisalEdens
Or havens of felicity –
Where they can live in freedom
When our world’s sun is out?.
